3-17-08 John 16:33 Jesus Gives You Peace
John 16:33 (NAS)
These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you have tribulation, but take courage; I have overcome the world."
John 16:33 (Philips)
I have told you all this so that you may find your peace in me. You will find trouble in the world—but, never lose heart, I have conquered the world!"
John 16:33 (NLT)
I have told you all this so that you may have peace in me. Here on earth you will have many trials and sorrows. But take heart, because I have overcome the world.

The Lord Jesus was always clear about His thoughts and often disclosed what was on His mind to His disciples. As one who has believed in Jesus, you should take His words to heart, for in His words is life. Since you are now in Him, you now have His life.
Because you are in Him, you possess the peace that only He can give. You need to hold fast to that harmony and concord that you have received from Him. The Lord has also given you security, safety, and prosperity. When you wear His garment of peace, you live in a happy and joyful state. You have joined yourself to your Messiah and as His companion, you can live in complete contentment and satisfaction. Your soul is assured of its eternal salvation through the finished work of Jesus Christ.
Even though you are born again of the Spirit of God, you must still live your natural life in the world, that is generally alienated from Adonai and hostile to the cause of Christ Jesus. The world, of course, does offer advantages and pleasures, but you have found that these are hollow, frail, and fleeting. Being a resident of this present age, you often experience the pressure, oppression, affliction, and tribulation that is normal for the world system.
However, you should not let yourself be overly concerned about the trouble and distress that the world tries to serve up to you. The wounds that you have suffered are not long lasting. Jesus Himself has told you to be of good cheer and to maintain your courage. In Him you can have confidence, for He has already conquered the temptations and persecutions that the world brings. As He was victorious over death and the grave, so too you now have that same victory.
